## Points Leaderboard

Compete with traders globally on PulseTrader's **Points Leaderboard**—a competitive ranking system that rewards trading activity and community building. Track your position, climb the ranks, and see how you stack up against the best traders on the platform.

### 🏆 **What is the Points Leaderboard?**

* **Community Contribution**: Building and growing the PulseTrader ecosystem

Unlike a simple scoreboard, the leaderboard provides:

* **Real-Time Rankings**: Live updates as traders earn points
* **Time-Based Views**: Compare performance across different timeframes
* **Transparent Metrics**: See exactly how points are calculated
